So far this year, the group that I hunt with have killed three elk. One at over 400 yards, one at over 600 yards, one at 266 yards. The shot at 600 + was atypical, but I would guess my average shot distance over my life time to be around 300 yards. Not country and ranges for 30-30, 300 Savage, 250, nor other old time popular cartridges.
